    Gift Ideas

    I appreciate this post. I am planning to make personal care baskets for our ladies group auction this coming December. I wonder how they will do?

    Etsy alternatives

    @paradisi Good! Same thing for LiveNation. I’m not against making the big bucks. I am against making the big bucks while throwing the little guy under the bus.

    Etsy alternatives

    @MelissaG Well, that sucks! Yikes, what made them entitled to your market sales? Was it just auto-connected somehow? I like Etsy; do not like hearing this.

    Bug Bite recipe for everyone

    It's an antimicrobial. His skin gets cracked and I like that the May Chang keeps it clean. The concoction dries and tightens his skin, keeps the itch down. I make a floral infusion body butter that he applies thickly (wipe off excess) after the bug bite/anti-itch potion. In just a few days...

    Bug Bite recipe for everyone

    @MelissaG I added a few drops of May Chang and Tea Tree. My hubby's psoriasis gets itchy, and he said it really helps!

    Is it normal for a broken bone to hurt during a rainstorm?

    I can feel changes in the weather in my replaced knee. Mostly cold or wet; less so with warm weather. Both my knees swell in hot weather. Swimming alleviates that, so I make sure to get in a pool regularly. Especially after a workout. @MelissaG I'm so sorry you're going through this. If...

    Just heard Nature's Garden has been bought out by WSP

    I get it. But it works at Disney land and our highways have toll lanes. Even my Norton anti virus has levels they keep trying to sell me. Excellent product or service at one price probably doesn’t exist anymore. What I hate is being nickel and dimed to death.

    Mould Cleaning for ceiling/walls

    Please hire a professional. Black mold is very very bad just to have around you, and it would be awful if you got sick!

    How do you store your CP during the curing process

    @KiwiMoose they have a coating. I've had bars sitting on them for a year with no issues. Now that I know this, I'll always make sure never to use a plain metal rack. Thank you! :)

    How do you store your CP during the curing process

    I set the bars on wire racks in a large closet that has good air flow.

    DOS or??

    No, it’s like an EO. DH said he got it on Cabela.com I think.

    DOS or??

    @KiwiMoose OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH is that where soda ash comes from? I get it occasionally, but not on every soap. I understand soda ash is more an aesthetic thing, won't ruin the soap but it isn't pretty either. @AliOop I forgot to mention I used Persimmon purchased from Cabela's. I...

    DOS or??

    @dibbles Thank you! I invented this recipe using Soapmakingfriend calc. No idea what I was doing, just sort of ball parked it. I really appreciate your tips! I’ll decrease the sorbitol, sodium lactate, and castor oils if I make this recipe again. Probably next time I’ll borrow a recipe from...

    DOS or??

    @AliOop thank you! I was trying for more of a swirl, but it's more like a wave. Looks like a creamsicle pop! Did not spray with alcohol. Covered with parchment paper, placed in box packed with a thick towel. I soaped at a fairly low temp (around 95), so I don't think it's condensation...

    DOS or??

    I've been threatening for the longest time to make a Peach Persimmon soap and got around to it two days ago. Fragrance is from OT "Peach Mango" and smells absolutely lovely! Like when I was a kid on the farm having spent all day picking peaches from Grandpa's orchard - juicy sweet fresh ripe...

    Wound care @ home

    I love Mountain Rose Herbs! I buy a lot of EOs from them. I bet they have a tincture or something that could help you, @VikingChick. Sorry about your fall. Hope you’re better soon. Healing after 50 is slower. Sighs
